App Description

The Shtisel Diary app is part of an ongoing project to document Jewish learning through cultural arts. The project is interested in what Jewishly identified people learn about Judaism, Jews and themselves by watching television, listening to Jewish music, visiting Jewish museums, and participating in cultural arts events. The project leads are Dr. Laura Yares, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Michigan State University, and Dr. Sharon Avni, Professor of Academic Literacy and Linguistics at CUNY. The Project is sponsored by the Mandel Center for Studies in Jewish Education at Brandeis University. You can learn more about the project here: https://www.brandeis.edu/mandel/projects/current/cultural-arts.html


Diarists participate in this project by recording their thoughts as they watch series 3 of the Israeli TV show, Shtisel. After watching each new episode, diarists will log onto the app and tell us about what they saw, heard and learned in response to a couple of prompt questions.
